I also needed to put a lot of weight down on the drill. The holes were expanded using the hole cutter, which cuts through the steel like butter.

Hello krutknut,

could you post a picture of you're hole cutter?

I'm using SS for mu uroMAMEstyx project.  I can easily drill a pilot hole using my drill press, but I have no idea what to use to cut a larger hole in it.  That was the main reason why I dropped the idea of having a SS cp overlay...

krutknut:
Sure,
you need one of these for a Happ/IL button. You also need a normal wrench to use it.
(I posted two pictures of it in use earlier, one from the top, and one from the bottom.)

superbigjay:
thanks!!!
If I ever need to do a big hole in a metal sheet, I'll know what to use  :cheers:

krutknut:
As it turned out, it wasn't finished because a bottom of cardboard was not sturdy enough for rough handling with kids. Also, the tape dried up, so I had to replace it with steel wire.

I'll have to finish it again. This time with a metal bottom plate.

krutknut:
Now the small metal control panel is really really finished. I've bent and cut a new steel sheet to use as a lid on the bottom side.

I can stand on this small control panel without any risk of damage. It's ready for some rough play!
